I'm a 70-year-old American living in Japan and found this site just at a time when I'm ready to make some lifestyle changes with regard to eating and exercise. Even though I am generally good to my body, SparkPeople is really helpful in getting me to face up to just how many calories I've been consuming (too many) and burning up (too few). Putting myself out here is giving me a real incentive to change that!

My Goals:
I want to be in better shape and health than I am now when I'm 75, and even healthier when I'm 90!

My Program:
I am tracking my Nutrition and Fitness on a daily basis. I am also going to attempt to stick to an early-to-bed (10 p.m.) early-to-rise (6 a.m.) schedule, since I need to get up that early for school at least 2 mornings a week.

Other Information:
I'm a recovering alcoholic with around 18 years of sobriety, with the support of LifeRing Secular Sobriety.

Hi, I see your posts on the daily weigh in board and was intrigued with your username. How long have you been living in Japan? My mother was born in Osaka and I went to visit some relatives in Nara a few years ago.
